GE Aerospace Shares Climb 4.13% to $320.75, Sees Double-Digit Growth Through 2028
Shares of GE Aerospace rose 4.13% to $320.75 following an 85% return in its first standalone year. Management projects double-digit annual revenue growth through 2028 and EPS rising from $6.10 in 2025 to $8.40 by 2028, underpinned by LEAP engine service revenues.
1. GE’s Recent Equity Rally and Shareholder Returns
Over the last twelve months, GE shares have climbed approximately 86%, reflecting robust investor confidence following the company’s streamlined focus on aviation technology. This performance outpaces the broader industrial sector and underscores the market’s positive reassessment of GE’s growth trajectory. Trading volume has remained steady around its four-month average, indicating sustained liquidity as the stock approaches its 52-week high.
2. Dominant Position in Commercial Aerospace Engines
GE Aerospace powers three out of every four commercial flights worldwide through its GE and CFM International joint-venture engines. The LEAP engine, currently the exclusive powerplant for the Boeing 737 MAX and a primary option for the Airbus A320neo family, has driven significant order momentum. Concurrently, service contracts on legacy CFM56 engines continue to generate a predictable, multi-decade revenue stream, supporting gross margins that averaged nearly 38% last year.
3. Long-Term Growth Outlook and Financial Guidance
Management projects annual revenue growth in the double-digit percentage range from 2025 through 2028, buoyed by ramping LEAP deliveries and an expanding service network. Earnings per share are forecast to rise from roughly $6.10 in 2025 to $8.40 by 2028, reflecting both higher aftermarket sales and improving operational leverage. Capital allocation priorities include maintaining a modest dividend yield near 0.45% while investing in capacity expansions to meet escalating engine demand.
